When our minds are filled with the love of Christ and with all the fullness of God, then the spirit of our minds are renewed and freed from the deceit of the world. That’s not always easy, because the prince of the air is always prowling around looking to devour us. He is crafty, having us trust our feelings more than God’s truth. “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.”

One of my favorite songs is “You Say” by Lauren Daigle. The first verse shows our struggle. I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough; Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up; Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know.

If you find yourself struggling today with WHO you are in Christ, look not at your feelings, or what another human being says about you, but instead look to God’s truth.

You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thingYou say I am strong when I think I am weakYou say I am held when I am falling shortWhen I don’t belong, oh You say that I am YoursAnd I believe (I), oh I believe (I)What You say of me (I)I believe

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of meIn You I find my worth, in You I find my identity

Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feetYou have every failure God, and You’ll have every victory

You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thingYou say I am strong when I think I am weakYou say I am held when I am falling shortWhen I don’t belong, oh You say that I am YoursAnd I believe (I), oh I believe (I)What You say of me (I)I believe

Great job! I am always blessed when I read your studies. Tonight I will be teaching about God’s love to the girls at the county jail. My angle will be to dismantle the lie from Satan that we are unlovable and worthless. All other people will fail to love us because of their sin issues from their past hurts and dysfunctions, but God’s love is pure and everlasting. I think I will post my bible study on this topic, though it is very long, so I will probably break it up into parts. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful insights.
